Well, hey, the snowflakes that think little boys should become little girls believe it, just like other absurdly beyond belief stuff.
I think you could say that about a lot of action movies. Freaking Rambo was taking out a large contingent of soldiers that no man could survive through.

Hey, don’t fûck with Rambo - about to get blocked mofo!
I loved the Rambo movies myself. However, there was a lot of BS to them. I loved Star Wars and Star Trek movies but they're full of BS too.

My issue with the prequels is that the acting is poor in some key areas. Specifically, I think Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman could have done a better job. (I think several other actors in the movies were pretty good.) I also think the stories in the first two often didn't flow particularly well. I did mostly enjoy Revenge of the Sith, and it explained a lot.
Well, my mind is at least open about Rambo. I would see the movies. Farrah? No thanks.

Yes. But light sabers.
The fight scenes are cool. I wont deny that.
So we're in London for the wife's pre-op appointment. (Surgery is in the morning.) When it was over, she wanted to do something that didn't require walking. So we found a nearby theater, which ended up being an historic theater. It was cool but only had two options - Indiana Jones or Barbie. Pretty easy to decide.
My expectations were pretty low. The action scenes were cool, as one would expect, though laughably unrealistic. Harrison Ford was ok - just way too old for the role. Phoebe Waller-Bridge is annoying - wasn't impressed. The rest of the cast was fine.
I honestly didn't see the woke element. Yes, there was the line about stealing and capitalism, but that was one line and clearly made in jest. It was not a serious critique of capitalism. Didn't see any gay, trans, or blatant racial agenda pushed. Let's put it this way. Most big Hollywood movies nowadays are much worse.
Is it good? Not especially, but it's tolerable. I wouldn't go out of my way to see it, but if you have nothing else to see or do, it will suffice.

Hey, what happened to the European “heat waves” this summer due to global warming??? Note cooler weather starts in late August in Europe, so time is running out.
Ugh!
I get fear porn about heat waves coming almost everyday.
And yet here's the forecast for the next several days. By far the coolest summer I've ever had in my life.
"PragerU, a conservative nonprofit often criticized for downplaying systemic racism and promoting anti-immigrant theories, announced that Florida is the first state to officially approve PragerU as an educational vendor.
...
Here’s the first thing you need to know, slavery was not invented by white people,” said Candace Owens, PragerU."
No wonder libs are pissed!

High school boys are treading conservative
"Twelfth-grade boys are nearly twice as likely to identify as conservative versus liberal, according to a respected federal survey of American youth."

It's a wide spot in the road between Junction and Mason.
